== Brand extensions == === Bicycles === In 1995, Land Rover endorsed the production of a hand-made bicycle using its logo. The bicycle, called the Land Rover APB and manufactured by [[Pashley Cycles]] of Stratford-upon-Avon,<ref>{{cite web|title=Landrover Bikes|url=http://www.formbycycles.co.uk/landrover-bikes|website=Formbycycles|access-date=24 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141117215647/http://www.formbycycles.co.uk/landrover-bikes|archive-date=17 November 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> was the collapsible version of Pashley Cycles' [[Moulton Bicycle|Moulton]] APB (All Purpose Bicycle) model, with leading link front suspension and adjustable damping and stroke. Two more models immediately followed: the Land Rover XCB V-20, aimed primarily at younger riders (children); and the Land Rover XCB D-26, also available as the M26 with hydraulic rim brakes, front suspension and suspension seat pillar. In June 2004, Land Rover released a comprehensive 25 model range of bicycles. The three main ranges are the "Defender", the "Discovery", and the "Freelander", each with different attributes. The "Discovery" is an all-rounder bicycle suited to a variety of terrains, "Defender" is most suited to rugged [[terrain]] and off-road pursuits, whereas the "Freelander" is designed for an urban lifestyle. All bikes are made from lightweight aluminium. In 2010 the range was relaunched in conjunction with British manufacturer 2x2.<ref>{{cite web|title=First look: Land Rover 2010 mountain bikes|url=http://www.bikeradar.com/news/article/first-look-land-rover-2010-mountain-bikes-24435/|website=Bike Radar|access-date=24 November 2014|date=24 December 2009|archive-date=29 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129043540/http://www.bikeradar.com/news/article/first-look-land-rover-2010-mountain-bikes-24435/|url-status=live}}</ref> === Coffee === Land Rover has had its name associated with coffee since 2005, when the Land Rover Coffee company was established.<ref>{{cite web|title=Land Rover Coffee β the journey|url=http://www.landrovercoffee.com/about/today.html|publisher=Land Rover Coffee|access-date=16 December 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120426052753/http://www.landrovercoffee.com/about/today.html|archive-date=26 April 2012}}</ref> === Pushchairs === Land Rover gave UK [[Pushchair#Modern designs|pram]] company Pegasus a licence to produce a three-wheeler range of Land Rover ATP [[Pushchair#Modern designs|pushchairs]]. The design reflected the heritage of the marque, with a light metal frame with canvas seating, held together with push-studs and tough simple parts like brakes and hinges. They could be collapsed completely flat, with wheels removed in seconds. The basic frame could be adapted with modules to allow a baby to lie flat or a bubble windscreen to completely enclose the child. The frame also came in long or short-handled versions, and could be repaired with home tools. The design was simple, light, and rugged and able to travel in all terrains (hence the ATP for all-terrain pushchair.) It came in three military looking colours: a light blue, a sand colour and olive drab. Production was discontinued in 2002.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.landroverpushchairs.co.uk/acatalog/index.html |title=Land Rover Pushchairs Online |publisher=Landroverpushchairs.co.uk |access-date=15 July 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100827234208/http://www.landroverpushchairs.co.uk/acatalog/index.html |archive-date=27 August 2010}}</ref>
